Help with Sorting

Here is my code:

Code:

---

public class letterpuzzle {

        /**
        * @param args
        */
        public static void main(String[] args) {
                // TODO Auto-generated method stub
                char choice;

                /**
                * The code below declares what is a vowel or consonant
                */
                char[] con = { 'b', 'c', 'd', 'f', 'g', 'h', 'j', 'k', 'l', 'm', 'n',
                                'p', 'q', 'u', 'r', 's', 't', 'v', 'w', 'x', 'y', 'z' };
                char[] vow = { 'a', 'e', 'i', 'o', 'u' };

                // TextIO.readFile("words.txt");

                /**
                * This part of the program asks the user to choose a vowel or consonant
                * by pressing C or V. Then randomly picks a vowel or consonant
                * depending on what letter was pressed.
                */

                char[] letters = new char[8];
                for (int i = 0; i < letters.length; i++) {
                        TextIO.put("Do you want a consonant or a vowel?");
                        choice = TextIO.getlnChar();
                        if (choice == 'v')
                                letters[i] = vow[(int) (Math.random() * 4)];
                        else
                                letters[i] = con[(int) (Math.random() * 20)];

                       
                       
                }
        }

}

What I need to do is take the letters that are randomly picked and stored and then sort them into a word (longest word/s) against the file "words.txt" and then display that word. The easiest way we were told was to use a bubble sort, I'm just not sure how to apply it to the code so far.

Any help or solutions would be greatly appreciated.

Please go through http://www.java-forums.org/forum-gui...w-members.html and BB Code List - Java Programming Forum and edit your post accordingly.

You didn't bother to return to the first thread you started. Why should we expect any better behavior this time round?

I've edited the post to go along with the rules. The last post was during a class and I was able to work out what I needed to do and forgot I posted on this forum. Sorry for leaving that post without a response.
